So, Gingerbread has finally dropped below 50% of devices accessing Google Play. Ice Cream Sandwich has almost hit the 30%, and after six months, Jelly Bean (4.1 and 4.2) almost hit the 10%. Google's page listing these numbers is like a trainwreck in slowmotion.

All the OS, even those who are managed very conservatively, receive at least security updates. More than the lack of updates to the next version, I fear a lot the lack of support of the current Android version of my phone. What is going to happen if one finds a gaping hole in Gingerbread, bad enough to allow self-propagating malware?
